How it feels
A procedurally generated point-and-click adventure that feels like a surreal, darkly comedic Christmas delivery service, where you navigate children's dreams, decide who is naughty or nice, and avoid disturbing dream creatures.

What players say
Players play a rookie Santa who sneaks into kids' dreams to gather clues and decide between a gift or a chainsaw. The game is short, with procedurally generated houses to explore, item crafting, and a strict one-hour time limit that forces planning. The dark moral choices and surreal tone are the main draw.
